The Heads-Up Display (HUD) provides vital information about CJ's status and the surrounding environment. In the top-left corner, you'll find your health bar (green), armor bar (blue), and money counter. Below that, your current weapon and ammunition count are displayed. The mini-map, located in the bottom-left, shows your current location, mission objectives (yellow markers), safehouses (green house icons), and other points of interest. Red dots on the mini-map indicate enemies. In the top-right, you'll see the current time and day, which can impact certain missions and activities. Pay close attention to your wanted level, indicated by stars in the top-right; more stars mean more aggressive law enforcement. Understanding each element of the HUD will allow you to make informed decisions, manage your resources, and effectively navigate the game world. Keep an eye on your health and armor, especially during intense firefights, and always know where your next objective is on the mini-map.
